There is a saying that anyone who wants to have friends must first be friendly.
That is being there when needed either physically or by keeping in touch.
Friends want you to keep in touch with them not minding how much it will cost you to do that on a regular basis.
Technology today has made it a lot easier. With a telephone you can keep your friends in close proximity. But there is cost implication. If you calculate how much it will cost you to keep in touch with friends using your mobile phone, you will be amazed. We however discovered a way out and that is what we are about to show you. Just read on.
Yes, you can become the best among friends without necessarily burning your hard earned money on recharge cards. You can register yourself in their subconscious and make them do the calling.
For instance, I have lots of friends; they all want me to keep in touch. They are not interested in how I want to achieve that. Some of them pick quarrels with me and asked if we were still friends.
Let’s do some calculations here. To keep in touch with twenty of my friends, a will need to use a minimum of one minute a week on phone. In Nigeria, that will cost me about N40 a minute per friend. I will need a budget of N800 a week to fulfill this obligation. That amounts to approximately N3,200 per month. In a year, I will have to cough about N38,400 to remain the best pal to this twenty friends.
In need of a cheaper means, I engaged my endowed mind. What I discovered is what I am about to share with you.
In this age of technological innovation, there is always a way to cut cost. With the advent of internet based text messaging, I decided to send customized text messages to be delivered at predefined times using this website http://www.smstransporter.com/. At the rate of N4 per sms, I kept touch with each of my friends. That will be N80 for twenty friends per week as against N800 on phone calls.
In a year, all I have to spend to continually keep in touch will be N3,840 as against N38,400.
My friends in appreciation of my kind gesture were forced to do the calling.
What a brilliant way to cut down the cost of maintaining friendship.
